This is a veteran goalie who is on a good deal and has been a real good player for the Sens.
Pros of Trading
Cons of Trading
Finding a decent backup for Lehner should not be a problem, good backups are usually available on the FA market. I don't see how this doesn't work for Minnesota and I think the time to strike is now.
Pros of Trading
- Value may never be higher
- Deal from strength
- See what you have in Lehner
- Weaken the team for this year
Cons of Trading
- Weaken the team for this year
- Good goalie helps out young D - allows them a cushion to learn from mistakes
- Goalie trade market is inconsistent - may not get good value
